| Achewood (Webcomic) | comment |
Achewood is a critically acclaimed and very adult comic by Chris Onstad. They detail the adventures of his stuffed animals: straight-man Teodor, refined Cornelius, sweet-natured young Philippe and violent boozer Lyle. Early into the comic, the neighborhood cats (ideas man Ray, and clinically depressed Roast Beef) were introduced and eventually became the central characters of the stories. The main characters are: Ray, massively wealthy, hip-hop loving Cloud Cuckoolander cat with a penchant for weird side projects. Became a Breakout Character along with Roast Beef once introduced. Roast Beef, half Deadpan Snarker, half clinically depressed cat from Circumstances. Pat, the self-righteous vegan Jerkass cat. Téodor, a stuffed bear Straight Man with slacker tendencies. Cornelius, stuffed bear Cool Old Guy, writer and bartender. Philippe, stuffed otter Cheerful Child who is eternally five. Lyle, stuffed tiger and Violent Glaswegian. Molly, cat who Roast Beef met in heaven and recently married. Todd, unspeakably stupid cokehead squirrel and even more of a Jerkass than Pat, although he could be better described as an Addled Addict. Nice Pete, a Serial Killer that fits the Hair-Trigger Temper and Ax-Crazy types. Lie-Bot, whose name encapsulates his character rather well. Vlad, a robot from Eastern Europe and self-described "makeout king".The comic is confrontational on just about every level; very sexually explicit, laden with drug references and moments of harsh violence. It also features many episodes which are disturbing in a more psychological manner, such as Ray's and Roast Beef's bizarre encounters with freakish performance artist Cartilage Head, or an occasion where a character dies only to discover that heaven has burnt down. At the same time it can be surprisingly good-natured, and deals quite sincerely on such subjects as friendship, self-esteem and commitment, and is literate about matters like fine food, multi-lingual palindromes and gay porn. It's also, if you're in the right mood, often very, very funny.A special mention must be made of the dialog, which is often downright poetic. Onstad seems to coin brilliantly memorable phrases on a near-daily basis at times, and every character has a unique and unmistakable speech pattern. It's helped make Achewood something of a darling among literary critics, receiving high praise from the likes of The New Yorker and Time. However, the wordplay often depends heavily on Genius Bonus, and Onstad occasionally seems to go out of his way to make his slang indecipherable. Whether this improves the comic or distracts from the story is debatable.Has a much more expansive world than most webcomics. In addition to the comic, Onstad maintains blogs for twelve of the characters, runs an Achewood radio station, and puts out cookbooks with original recipes by the characters, many of which are completely edible.Can be read here. If you'd like to skip the comic's Early-Installment Weirdness, start here instead. For the Wham Episode Cartilage Head storyline, read here. And for the Great Outdoor Fight, which was published as a standalone hardcover comic by Dark Horse, start here (and read on - the storyline takes a while to get going).The strip went on a hiatus of sorts for much of 2011, returning in November and updating sporadically since, although Onstad has put several of the now out-of-print side materials, including Roast Beef's zine and the Achewood cookbook, up for download via an honor system-based shop. On February 25 2013, Onstad returned with the news that there will be an Achewood animated series in the works, although there have not been any updates on this front.in 2016, Achewood recieved almost-weekly updates once again for a full year until Christmas, when Omstad decided to end the comic for the time being, directing the reader to the blogs. In May 2023, Achewood returned again, this time on Patreon with exclusive strips. | |

Cannot Tell a Joke: Philippe often fails when he attempts adult humor. For example, his "Yo Mama is so fat" joke had the punchline of "she broke her leg and hot bloody fat sprayed everywhere! Some even got on the mayor!" | |

Cool Old Guy: Cornelius Bear won the first Badass Olympics, unanimously. Cornelius Bear prepares remarks for a competition he thinks he won't win, just in case. Cornelius Bear writes closed captioning for pornographic films. Cornelius Bear was invited to join Mensa's Distinguished Lecturers circuit during a conversation in which he was turning down an invitation to join Mensa. Cornelius Bear is legally registered as a church. Cornelius Bear is so old school he drives a yellow bus with Gothic arch windows. Cornelius Bear is a mirror that normal men look into to realize they are but clowns. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Or could have if things had gone on for a few more... dozen... hours. Everyone keeps calling Ray to tell him that Little Nephew is in danger... but they don't actually tell him that, they just keep insisting he turn on the news, which just keeps getting Ray more annoyed and stubborn at feeling bossed around. | |

Wainscot Society | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_209d0b5f | comment |
Wainscot Society: The earliest strips operated under the loose conceit that all the characters (including the cats) were owned by humans. This quickly developed into the notion that animals had their own society quietly operating alongside human society, with places called "Undergrounds" wherein they could enjoy animal run businesses and so forth. If animals wanted to, say, openly drive cars in the human world, they needed to wear disguises. This, too, was eventually dropped, apparently in favor of always having had humans and animals living side by side on equal standing. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: The "High School" arc. The only resolution is Roast Beef talking Nice Pete out of the whole High School thing; we don't know what happened to Lurquill — and few people mind. We will now never know if Téodor chugged Nathan's giant hog. Also from much earlier is the "Possessed Banjo" arc, which was cut short when Onstad's child was born. "Ray Goes to Rehab" has turned out to be this, as the webcomic has gone back to being about random events. Onstad said that he didn't think the storyline would work in the comic, and planned to move it to the blogs, but nothing came of it. | |

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: If it weren't for Ray's borderline-supernatural luck, he'd probably be bankrupt and in jail. On one hand, he has a pretty canny entrepreneurial mind; on the other, he has a crush on getting high, the wealth to realize any idea he comes up with while stoned, and ideas like a party themed around tequila and machetes (which goes about as you'd expect). | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Pat wasn't as big a jerk as he is in his first appearance as part of the cat trio. Mixed with a bit of Early-Installment Weirdness, where Teodor and Cornelius had much simpler, more childlike personalities befitting their status as stuffed animals. Cornelius especially couldn't tell the difference between different types of alcohol in an early strip, something which clashes badly with his later characterization as a refined, experienced man of the world who, among other things, works as a bartender. | |

It's just easier to say that the cast gets away with a lot of morally questionable acts. Another really obvious example would be Todd who engages in theft, attacking people, and so forth. Though his Butt-Monkey status might null it a bit. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Originally the strip focused on Teodor, Phillipe and Lyle who were stated to be stuffed animals that never left the house. An early strip even has them trying to hijack a pizza delivery boy's car so they can go places. This was quietly abandoned as they are all considered to be fully alive animals with their own communities, homes, shops and (presumably) system of government. | |

Genius Ditz | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_58626d87 | comment |
Genius Ditz: Philippe, usually possessing the mindset of an extremely hyperactive and naive five-year old, has several moments of extreme savantry, such as being adept at polyglot palindromes, "leading a frog through a makeshift obstacle course using only a small tatter of yellow madras," and becoming a successful, Stephen Wright -esque comedian. This tendency both amazes and troubles Cornelius. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: Philippe — he's five, but judging from his parents' age he should be at least as old as the other cast members. If you look closer he also has a bit of Creepy Child going, as he's simply more knowledgeable than most other 5-year-olds due to this — it doesn't really stick out in the cast, though. Example: we see him type out some stories, and the only problem they have are plotting. There's a pair of strips that show snapshots of Beef, Ray, Téodor and Philippe from the comic's beginning through to 2052 or so; Téodor apparently dies before Ray, somehow, and Philippe remains 5 forever. | |

Hair-Trigger Temper: Pat and Nice Pete, though in opposite ways. Pat is constantly furious at something or another, but aside from having a shitty attitude he's mostly harmless. Nice Pete usually has the emotional range of a corpse, but replies to any slight, real or imagined (usually the latter) by killing the offending party and burying their body in the woods. | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_658f7193 | comment |
Lack of Empathy: Pat definitely shows signs of this. All the more notable in his blog where he tries to have any "offender" to his sensitivities greatly punished. And their families and businesses too. (In one case, he shows no sympathy for his attorney who was Driven to Suicide by manic depression, calling him a "damn idiot".) Fortunately, these attempts generally go nowhere. He'd be an example of The Sociopath were it not for his few genuine Pet the Dog moments. | |

Real Men Cook: Played with. Téodor is the resident cook, and probably the least traditionally "manly" male character.

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: For the first half of the Great Outdoor Fight arc, we know than Ray is a pretender, a claimer of false descent, a coward who would desert a dying man. And then another sees right through Ray, beats him to the ground and claims his army - and Ray rips the man's face off and claims his rightful place as the Son of Rodney. | |

Karma Houdini: Nice Pete, who never really gets any comeuppance for the horrific stuff he's committed since he escaped jail with Pat (save for his attempt to kill Ray and Téodor with a knife device that just ended up incapacitating him). Played straight and subverted with Ray depending on the occasion. Sometimes, he gets away with morally questionable acts because he's rich. But then you have times such as the arc when Ray gets pulled into Hell when Satan wants him to pay up for their previous agreement that made Ray rich. It's just easier to say that the cast gets away with a lot of morally questionable acts. Another really obvious example would be Todd who engages in theft, attacking people, and so forth. Though his Butt-Monkey status might null it a bit. | |

Take That!: The Chick Tracts are referenced and deflated here. There's also the aforementioned savage beatdown of the guy who invented the Comic Sans font. One strip of the toilet party storyline features Ray and Roast Beef insulting other webcomic characters, including one who resembles a Jay Naylor-esque cat. Achewood also goes after newspaper comics as well, such as Ray antagonizing Dilbert into threatening to sue (an act he'd never win with Ray) with ending numerous words with "-bert", purely for a laugh. The entire "Fuck You Fridays" premise exists purely to engage in (often rather unnecessarily crude/cruel) sessions of this. | |

Being tied up is about the only excuse you have. 'You diss my dog, you fluff my hog' If Ray thinks you've hurt his dogg Roast Beef, he will pound you into cowboy sauce. Making fun of Nice Pete's Bible fan-fiction is generally not considered smart. | |

Apparently Todd had been dead for something like a few months when Ray and Roast Beef found him in Hell, and no one really noticed (or cared). But then, it's Todd, so. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: Ray and Roast Beef are currently the main characters of the strip, with the rest taking supporting roles. They didn't debut in the strip for months, and took even longer to take over, but there they are. Amusingly, Ray and Roast Beef were originally a trio, along with Pat, and the joke was that they were interchangeable and had identical personalities. When Beef was first named, the reader is explicitly told that his only character trait is that he's "Not Ray, and not Pat." Needless to say, this changed a LOT, with Ray and Beef quickly developing their own personalities and becoming the central characters, while Pat drifted away from their trio and remained a supporting player. | |

You Can't Go Home Again: Philippe finds this out. When he does manage to visit his mother, the house looks different, the bed is uncomfortable, and his mother doesn't remember how to make his favorite dish the way he likes. The ghost of his father explains to him that leaving your parents and consigning your memories of home to the past is part of life. When he returns to Achewood, the characters speculate that this trip was necessary because Philippe originally left home by accident; he couldn't truly leave it until he went back to say a proper goodbye. | |

Flanderization: A rare case where the character in question didn't have much personality BEFORE the single trait was accentuated; Roast Beef was just one of the "dirtiest dudes in town" who didn't talk much (when he did his personality didn't seem too much different from Ray's.) It wasn't until The Famous Party Arc that he developed the persona of the put-upon, clinically depressed programmer from Circumstances. | |

| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_e7cb46d3 | comment |
Satellite Character: Sondra, Ray's mother. Her life as portrayed in the strip revolves completely around Ray. Heck, just look at her flowchart; not one branch deals with anything other than her son. | |

No Ending: Averted — though it probably wasn't planned this way, the final full-length story arc (not counting 'high school' arc cut off by the hiatus) was a poignant, fitting conclusion to the series. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Philippe will outlive everyone else in the comic and be eternally five years old. It doesn't seem to affect him too much, but his father is already dead (and, judging by apparent age, may have fought in WWII) and 'home' is no longer where his mother is. | |

Pretty Fly for a White Guy | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_eb6912 | comment |
Pretty Fly for a White Guy Roast Beef and Ray, and later Little Nephew. Granted, they are cats and the traditional concepts of "race" don't apply, but their speech patterns and interests do borrow pretty heavily from African American hip hop culture. | |

Jerkass: Pat. He's so insufferable that even his friends only tolerate him at best - with the exception of serial killer Nice Pete, who seems to be impressed at the sheer force of Pat's personality. | |

Creepy Child | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_f3d5d15f | comment |
If you look closer he also has a bit of Creepy Child going, as he's simply more knowledgeable than most other 5-year-olds due to this — it doesn't really stick out in the cast, though. Example: we see him type out some stories, and the only problem they have are plotting. | |

Heavy Mithril | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_f5fe65a3 | comment |
Heavy Mithril: Nice Pete wants his band (called Mister Band) to be like this; unfortunately, the only other member is Lyle, who thinks Pete's lyrics are hackwork — though he's also annoyed that Pete won't let him do more in a song than repeatedly strum one bass note while Pete shrieks about wizards. Later on, while stoned on Ray's roof and making fun of Pete's songwriting, Ray and Téodor stumble across the concept of Heavy Mithril rap. (Unfortunately, Pete is also getting stoned on the roof, and it leads right into another one of his unsuccessful attempts to kill the other cast members.) | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Achewood (Webcomic) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Quintessential asshole Pat has his moments. He's reserved and sympathetic when Ray spots a Magreaux dog (a catastrophically bad omen among cats), and, in the Achewood cookbook, shows genuine affection for Philippe, and even finishes writing the kid's recipe when Philippe drives himself to tears after remembering that his old house burned down. | |
